After selling the company to Shell Petroleum in 2005 and moving back to Oakville, Nadine has taken all of the business savvy she acquired over the years and merged that with her passion – Food!

In addition to The Cook’s Companion, Nadine created the internet based The Menu Companion, (www.themenucompanion.com) that markets and sells comprehensive menu planners focused on the planning and preparation of dinner parties.
